PhD Student (Since 2024)

I am a Ph.D. student in Pharmacology. I hold a Master of Science in Pharmacology from Kampala International University (Uganda), a Postgraduate Diploma in Clinical Trials from the University of Montpellier (France), and a Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Laboratory Technology from Makerere University (Uganda).

My educational background has equipped me with extensive experience in diagnostics and pharmacological sciences. I am comfortable with laboratory work and computational modelling. Through my academic training and professional experience, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of experimental design, laboratory methodologies, quality assurance and quality control systems, and translational research approaches.

I have a strong interest in the quantitative and systems-level understanding of drugs. My research interests encompass pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, toxicology, and systems pharmacology. The transition from laboratory-based biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences to quantitative pharmacology reflects my commitment to bridging the gap between preclinical discovery and clinical application. I have gained proficiency in a wide range of analytical techniques, bioassays, trouble shooting and quality-control procedures essential for pharmacological research and pharmaceutical development.

My research aspirations lie at the intersection of quantitative pharmacology, fungal biology, and molecular pathogenesis. I build quantitative models to evaluate a novel antifungal target. I hope to contribute to the discovery, optimisation, and clinical translation of a novel antifungal treatment. This may improve patient outcomes for invasive fungal infections.
